Claude poured coffee into his mother-in-law's glass. Slowly and very carefully so that not a single drop of the coffee in the glass pot dripped onto his mother-in-law. Anne, Claude's mother-in-law, looked at the man with a sardonic gaze. In this luxurious house and in the Adelman family, Claude was nothing more than a useless son-in-law. A poor, unemployed man who could only bring shame to the Adelman family. Anne reached for her glass elegantly and inhaled the aroma of the coffee. Claude watched his mother-in-law, who was now taking a sip of coffee. "Mother, can I borrow some more money for my mother's needs?" Anne's eyes widened perfectly. She put down her coffee cup so roughly that it made a loud clinking sound. The coffee in her mouth almost spurted out. Anne got up with her hands around her waist, immediately rebuking Claude. "Don't you have any self-respect? You're a shameless man. All this time you've been giving my daughter a hard time. You're such a useless husband! You sh
Claude's brow furrowed. He looked to his left and right to make sure that there was no one other than himself that the man before him was referring to as Young Master. "Who are you?" He felt confused at suddenly being called young master by a stranger.The man before Claude smiled kindly. "I was trusted by an important figure to bring you back and you should get what has been yours."The man's words made Claude even more confused. He didn't understand what the man was saying. Claude wondered to himself, bring back where? And what will he get? What did he have? He didn't feel like he had anything. "I don't understand what you're saying. It seems like you've got the wrong person."The man before Claude shook his head. "No, Young Master. I don't have the wrong person." He reached into one of his coat pockets, took out a small black card, and then held it out to Claude. "You are my young master, and this is just a little gift that can help you, this black card has a money limit of 100 mil
The hospital clerk behind the administration desk nodded his head hesitantly, reaching for the black card in Claude's hand. He swiped it, and a receipt came out of the computer. "All the bills are paid in full."Of course, it surprised Claude that all the hospital bills were paid, which meant Bruce wasn't fooling him. There really was a huge amount of money in it. Claude couldn't believe he could finally pay off his mother's medical expenses. And at the same time, Ronald still didn't seem to believe it.Ronald walked fast towards Claude with a haughty look on his face. "Where does a poor man like you get money from?"Claude reached for the receipt. The clerk returned the black card to Claude. Ronald looked at the black card with a serious face and thought that the money Claude used to pay off all Claude's mother—Wendy's bills was his wife's money. Ronald grinned. Ronald knew that Claude was a poor son-in-law.Ronald folded his arms across his chest as he chuckled with a sardonic smile
Everyone who was there was shocked to see that. Ronald held his hot and sore cheek while looking at Alex with a confused look"Why did you slap me? What did I do wrong? I was working according to the procedure." He was still trying to defend himself, ” He’s in arrears for his mother's hospitalization!”"I paid my mother's bill!" Claude spoke firmly. Alex pointed at Ronald with a sharp, angry glare. "You've really pissed me off. Starting today, you are fired!" Ronald widened his eyes perfectly. "What? Why am I suddenly fired?" He asked Alex for an explanation, but Alex made a face, reluctant to answer his question. "Please tell me what I did wrong?" "Your mistake was fatal, Ronald! You've misbehaved with an honorable man!" Alex spoke in a restrained voice full of anger. Alex bowed his head respectfully to Claude. "Please forgive us, sir." Alex looked terrified in front of Claude. Ronald's brow furrowed. "Honorable man? Sir? Are you sick, sir? How can a poor man like him have such
Claude remembered that there were 100 million dollars on the black card. "So, I do come from a rich family?"Claude looked at the store in front of him, it had been a long time since he had given a present to Olivia-his beautiful wife would definitely be very suitable for a good gift. Claude took a breath from his mouth, this was the first time he had walked into an expensive store, so he was a little nervous that he might make a mistake.The salesgirl at the store he passed by greeted him kindly. "Good afternoon, please have a look around, sir. We have some nice things."Claude continued to walk around, looking at bags, shoes, and clothes with famous brands. He didn't know those big brands at all. Claude couldn't decide which one to choose for Olivia's birthday present."That's very pretty." Claude stopped when he saw a ring in the jewellery store window.Claude walked into the jewellery store and approached the display case with two employees chatting there. "Excuse me, I'd like to
The jewellery store manager was surprised by Claude's offer. Buying this jewellery store? He noticed Claude's modest appearance, unlike the other customers in fancy clothes. The manager wasn't sure if Claude had the money to buy even one piece of jewellery in this store.The manager chuckled in response to Claude. "Are you kidding me? Don't waste my precious time on useless jokes!""I'm not joking, sir." Claude said with a serious face.The manager, named Robert, shook his head. "Nonsense." He gave Asley a sharp look. "What an idiot. You're taking his words seriously? I came all the way down here just to respond to this joke? You can't work properly?""She's a fool, sir!" Another salesgirls shouted at Asley."No one wanted to serve that man earlier, but Asley came as a hero to serve him." They complained to Robert about Asley serving Claude."What did that man say earlier? Want to buy this shop?" The servants laughed at Asley and Claude. "They're both stupid!"Claude did not feel ange
The Dracena family!Alan's face turned pale immediately.He bowed his head fearfully before Claude. "I-I'm sorry, sir. I made a mistake." Alan stuttered. Alan was afraid that Claude would be angry if he found out they offered a price much higher than the actual price. He heard a lot about the Dracena family, which was the most potent and mysterious one. All businessmen knew that the Dracena family owned almost every business. Many companies were under the control of the Dracena family. "I'm sorry, sir," Alan said in a frightened tone. Suddenly it shocked everyone who was there. "Why is the director suddenly apologizing?" "I don't know either. This is very strange. What happened?" The servants wondered about each other. They were confused about what had happened. Robert, who was also confused, whispered something to Alan. "Sir, why are you apologizing to him?" "Be quiet. Hurry up and apologize too." Alan nudged Robert's arm, which made Robert look down, not understanding. Claud
Anne was surprised to see the brand of jewelry on the gift box. "That's a famous jewelry brand that my friends often brag about. It's costly. You can't possibly afford it. It must be a fake ring, right?" Claude shook his head. "No, it's a real ring, ma'am. I bought it directly from the shop for Olivia." Anne snatched the jewelry box from Claude's hand and examined it. "It must be a fake!" She put the box on the dining table. "You insolent son-in-law. You're trying to fool us, aren't you? Do you think we don't know what a real ring looks like? You idiot!" "But this is a real ring, ma'am." Claude defended himself by showing Anne the ring. Anne ruffled her feathers in annoyance. "What do you think we are? It's worth tens of millions of dollars. Do you think we'll believe you? Where do you think you have the money? Just to buy vegetables, you still ask my daughter!" Olivia sighed. She got up and looked at the ring. "Claude, that's not a real ring because I know you can't possibly have
